  1. A.A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
  2. B.A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  3. C.A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
  4. D.A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Correct Answer

(D) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (D) A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II. Solution: Salvinia is a pteridophyte (A-IV), Polytrichum is a moss/bryophyte (B-III), Salvia is a flowering plant/angiosperm (C-I), and Ginkgo is a gymnosperm (D-II). NCERT lists Salvinia among pteridophytes (Figure 3.3), Polytrichum among mosses, and Ginkgo among gymnosperms (Figure 3.4); Salvia is a well-known angiosperm. NCERT Reference: Class XI Biology, Plant Kingdom, p.30 line 24 — "Common examples of mosses are Funaria, Polytrichum and Sphagnum"; with Salvinia placed under Pteridophytes (p.31, Figure 3.3 (d) Salvinia) and Ginkgo under Gymnosperms (p.33, Figure 3.4 (c) Ginkgo).
